Summary:

Bestselling author Jude Deveraux spins a rollicking story of a mismatched couple who unearth a sparkling, irresistible passion across the rugged West!

Captain Ring Montgomery was handsome, a skilled rider, a crack shot, popular with the men and their ladies. That was reason enough for a jealous, surly colonel to saddle Montgomery with a most peculiar assignment: to escort an opera singer into the Colorado gold fields.

Ring’s plan was to scare the little lady enough so that she’d hightail it for home. After all, a Civil War was brewing! But LaReina, The Singing Duchess—as Maddie was called—didn’t scare easily. And she didn’t intend to explain her reasons for coming West to any high and mighty soldier. Captain Montgomery might be smart enough to figure out that she was no European duchess, and gentleman enough not to take advantage of her. But he’d have to go on thinking she had some insane desire to sing opera to a bunch of ragtag miners—for she didn’t dare trust him with the truth…

Terrible...I must of rolled my eyes no less than 15 times at the stupid commentary between the two main characters. Having said that it is my fault for getting this book. I didn't realize it was a "romance" novel and I have never cared for that writing style. Also the reader was horrendous you could hear her smacking her lips, taking breaths, and it sounded like she had spit in her mouth.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The main characters were both very likable and the storyline flowed nicely. I didn't give it 5 stars because it was a bit predictable but still worth listening to.
